OKAY FOLKS, IN THE LAST 15 MINUTES WE HAVE PREPPED linda's DOUGH; ADDED OUR SAUSAGE, CHOPPED ONIONS, AND ALFREDO SAUCE; AND SPRINKLED SOME ADMINISTRATIVE fees AND aN annual interest rate OF UP to 500%!

DON'T FORGET THE CHEESE!!!

NOW WE ARE READY TO BAKE OUR PIZZA IN OUR "INSTANT" microwave oven!

a microwave oven? why not a CONVENTIONAL OVEN?

A CONVENTIONAL OVEN can only PROCESS YOUR REFUND, uhmm I MEAN PIZZA, IN 40 lenghty-minutes. meanwhile, OUR instant microwave OVEN can GET YOUR PIZZA DONE IN AS LITTLE AS 30 minutes! (OF COURSE, YOU'LL GET BACK A SMALLER PIZZA AT THE END, BUT THAT IS REALLY JUST A TINY, TINY DETAIL)

THAT DOESN'T SEEM THAT MUCH FASTER...WAIT..I'll GET A SMALLER PIZZA TOO??

REALLY, couldn't we just use a conventional oven instead?

now that would be silly, linda!!! those EXTRA 10 minutes are totally worth it! But if you'd like, we can zap your pizza in our nuclear-powered, one-minute microwave oven for an additional fee of $55.
